Pennsylvania Cable Network (PCN) hosted LIVE Election 2012 on Temple's campus giving students the chance to ask questions about the election with a guest panel, including former Congressman Joe Sestak and Temple political scientist Robin Kolodny. Topics included voter ID, the national debt and the cost of higher education. "An institution like Temple is not just a degree producer. We are a major employer in the area and an economic driver in our neighborhood," said Kolodny.
